| A picture & a blog inspired by the blue sky yesterday. |
Did you notice the sky this morning? Did you feel the breeze
this morning?
I did.
As I swayed in the hammock, I couldn’t help but notice its
spring-like color and its fall-like feel.
Blue. So blue.
No humidity.
No haze.
No rain.
Blue, sunny sky with fluffy, slow-moving clouds. White, cotton puffs like snow.
God’s mercy present in the temporary relief from the heat.
Mercy.
God is kind.
God is sympathetic.
God is
compassionate.
God is forgiving.
God is present.
God is what is
happening.
What is happening is a beautiful day full of blue sky,
sunshine, and life.
What did you notice today?
Unbridled
joy?
Unending
laughter?
Unconditional
love?
What about now?
What is happening in this moment? In YOUR
life?
What do you hear?
What do you
see?
What
do you taste?
What
do you smell?
What
do you feel?
Mercy.
Softness. This is how I would describe today. In a rough
patch of summer heat, respite.
Presence. Another way I would describe today. Mercy is being
known in this moment.
Mercy is listening…
…to
your life…
…to
what is happening…
in
this
moment.
What do you notice?
Your breath?
Your
life?
Your
heartbeat?
Mercy. God has it for us. It is what is happening.
What is happening is this:
·
You are not alone but are being cradled in the
arms of a Loving God who is our Mother and our Father.
·
You are not wandering waywardly but are at home
in the presence of a God who is as close as our breath.
·
You are not an isolated individual but are
seeing with the very eyes of God.
·
You are not a wrecked catastrophe but are plunged
deeply into the transformative nature of The Creator.
Mercy.
Today I saw mercy in a blue sky. I felt mercy in the
breeze’s embrace.
This is beautiful!
